This well-traveled copy of Driss Chraibi’s “Mother Comes of Age” offers a unique glimpse into the cultural and literary landscape of postcolonial Morocco. Published in 1986, the novel explores the complex relationship between tradition and modernity through the lens of a Moroccan family. Chraibi, a pioneering figure in North African literature, deftly weaves together themes of gender, identity, and social change, challenging conventional norms and giving voice to the marginalized.

Despite its well-worn appearance, this edition bears the marks of a cherished read, with annotations and highlights that hint at the thought-provoking nature of Chraibi’s prose. For collectors and readers alike, this copy represents a tangible connection to a pivotal work that helped shape the discourse on postcolonial literature and feminist narratives in the Maghreb region.
